Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

I nodded off, completely lost sense of time and date, and woke up to my entire skyline going on about a Dunkin commercial. I think dinner might not be the only thing to happen early tonight.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
“We cannot just abolish ICE!”
Bestie, you are older than ICE.

You may ask yourself why helicopters fly over the Twin Cities so much and my best guess is it is to fuck with people.
Ugh. Looked up for a second only to see this guy buzz by my window.

They call it “persistent presence” and it’s a technique of war they have used in other parts of the world, notoriously in Somalia, which gives a new dimension to the cruelty of doing this to cities full of Somali refugees
In some cases they’re literally using the same Black Hawks even

Layers:
1. What ICE/CBP is doing isn't making us safer.
2. When ICE/CBP does their work "the right way," it ALSO doesn't make us safer.
3. Human beings deserve respect and care no matter their status, language, or background. If "leaders" can't say that, everyday people can lead by shouting it.

...there is no anti-immigrant position or policy preference that doesn't just boil down to:
1. "I'm a racist coward and get scared when I hear another language at the grocery store."
or
2. "We don't have the resources! And I refuse to think about why or work to distribute resources better!"

Violent policing is wrong on every level.
Abolish ice.
Abolish CBP.
Abolish state patrol.
Abolish the MPD.
All of it. Let’s build something new. We’ve already got neighborhood safety groups. We already built it.
